I am not a bookworm who would start another book right after finishing one. But yeah..I have recently picked on a new habit of reading.
I don’t like non-fiction, but who doesn’t like a good book? Last week, I started one such book called ‘You Can Heal Your Life’ by Louise Hay. My first impression is, WOW!
That’s when I decided to start a Reading Journal. So I went to Amazon in an instant and ordered a cute set of journals.
What Is a Reading Journal?
A reading journal is a notebook or small diary where you can write your favorite quotes, lessons, or lines from books that you read. In a reading journal, you can:
- Write about your favorite books
- Create monthly reading goals
- Review the books and write your opinions on them
- Add your favorite quotes and lessons
Basically, it’s all about reading and writing.
Why Did I Create a Reading Journal?
I have started reading in the self-help niche. So, my goal with the journal is to keep a record of all the lessons, techniques, and quotes that I learn from the books.
Not only I can repurpose what I learn, but also, it will help me maintain a habit of reading.
How Can You Create One?
Creating a reading journal is a piece of cake. In fact, if you want to build a reading habit, then I will definitely suggest creating one.
Here’s how you can create it:
- Get a small-sized notebook or diary that is almost the size of your palm.
- If it’s unruled, great! However, you could also use ruled journals.
- Start writing as per your goal with the journal.
For instance, my goal with the journal is to learn. So I make notes. You can also create a book review.
I am new to reading as of now, and absolutely ready to explore. But yeah, it’s not about how much my reading journals get filled. Instead, it’s about how much I learn new things.
